Is this movie basically porn for Catholics?
Don't see how it isn't unless they focus on the scandals

Pryce really looks like Francis here.
I hope not.
There's always The Young Pope! Should be a Season 3 this year?

I highly doubt that this film portrays the Catholic church in a positive light.

Wow I had no clue there was even a season 2 of The Young Pope.
My bad, for some reason I thought there were two seasons already! I guess S2 is coming next.
Oh my. Day one.
Between this and 'The King', Netflix is satisfying all my cravings lately with their upcoming offerings.
B... bu... but Disney+ ended Netflix I was told /s

Don't forget about Marriage Story and The Irishman
McCarten might be a bit of a hack but what's wrong with Meirelles?

While it is getting a theatrical release, the window between that release and streaming is like two weeks.
The Two Popes, The Irishman, and Marriage Story all have a longer theatrical window which makes me think they are the more serious contenders.
Ah, The Irishman as well definitely.
Gonna have to check out Marriage Story though, think that's one that slipped past me.
Yeah Netflix has three films that will no doubt get heavy push. Irishman, The King and this. Probably in that order too.

I feel like that movie is going to be a little too low key for most Oscars. It doesn't have a big hook. Maybe an acting nom or screenplay? But I doubt that too. It does look great for sure.
The Laundromat will probably get Meryl another nom unless its completely terrible.
Casting through memes. What a world lolThe prophecy fulfilled
Interested to see what it's about. Outside of the conflicting worldviews there doesn't seem to be a lot of tension here, and we already know the ending.
Booooo

I'd be surprised if it isn't a damning indictment of the institution with Hopkins as oblivious avatar of the corruption and decadence of it.
Francis is in that regard a gigantic outlier - and has done a lot to upend the institutions.
He's no saint* and he presides over incredible centuries of historical and ongoing crimes and horrors. But in his own context he's a vast improvement.
*unintended but I may as well cop to it
